NCW which has refused to entertain the complainant’s appeal is a big blow to malicious attempts by elements bent on maligning the image of a person through false allegations. Every sensible person should condemn such dirty politics, added the release.
The entire sequence of events is in public domain for scrutiny and the CMO believes that citizens of Arunachal Pradesh can now see through the conspiracy hatched against the CM who has grown in popularity for his strict decisions to root out corruption.
